A 22 year old PwC intern was shot dead last night at the J’ouvert festival in Brooklyn. She was an intern at PwC. There were multiple people stabbed and shot at this event. 

This is a sad incident because her linkedin profile was full of hope. She was excited about becoming  a professional accountant. Our thoughts and prayers go out to her family

“My greatest achievement was in Spring of 2014 when I studied abroad in Paris, Rome, and Seville. Apart from being able to get away for a while, I was given the opportunity to push my limits and be responsible for my personal growth and development journey.

Since, I have used all tools available to me to enhance my professional image. My ultimate goal is to be an accountant at a prestigious firm where I can constantly learn new things and pursue opportunities at firm locations around the world.

I am seeking an internship where I can get real-world experience with new technology, learn to communicate effectively with clients, and challenge my intellectual abilities. I am always interested in meeting new people, hearing success stories, and acquiring helpful bits of knowledge at every chance I get.”

She was also a student at St John’s university and had previously worked at PwC for 2 months as PwC Start intern. Her interests were also positive in that she cared about education and human rights. 

The J’ouvert festival is a large street party held during carnival which celebrates Caribbean culture.

As of this writing the authorities had charged a suspect in the shooting of Tiarah and another young person.
